Camera touch screen

On thing that annoys me is putting a finger on a camcorder touchscreen to go into the menu. Big fingers and small print don 't exactly go together. Try getting onto one sub section and the finger covers another. So I decided to get a pointer pen to do this function. Whaat i didn’t know was how many different types of pointer/touch pens tere are. It all depends on the screen so it seems as there are different types requiring different pens.
So back to research I discovered the type I need is called a Capacitive Touchscreen pen. Even then some are battery or USB powered which I didn’t wan’t . . eventually I found “hopefully” what I am after at a reasonable price.

this has a special end tips that may do the job without marks. The camcorder with the screen hood on is impossible to get to the camcorder menu so this should be the answer

I use that on my iPads.

What a great idea as my iPad is covered in finger marks, where can I get one from?:grin:

Amazon :slightly_smiling_face:

I use those also. Amazon have a good selection.
However, I find they still leave a mark on the screen.:slightly_smiling_face:

My Samsung Tab S7+ came with a stylus but I have always used some form of pen on all my tablets.

Just make sure you get the right one. As I said it all depends on the type of screen, Suggest a youtube
research might be very helpful

This thread reminded me that I have various pens/stylus in a drawer and result a couple work just fine.

I usually keep a box of mixed ones, always useful for tablets, phones etc.

You don’t see them much these days but some years ago every charity and gift bag seemed to contain one of those pens, I think I still have several of various sizes and styles in a drawer somewhere.

Personally didn’t find them much use, it must be my slim, delicate fingers. :wink:

the camcorder sreen is only 3x2 " and with 6 lines of print from top to bottom it is pretty small even for my fingers

It has just arrived and does what it is supposed to do. Makes things a lot easier when the camcorder hood is on

Oooh I like the different nib sizes (is that what they are?) I think that is quite brilliant.

I have a couple of them, not that make though.
